On June 25, 2024, FSG hosted a webinar on how top-down models of philanthropy can be transformed so that individuals and communities can create their own solutions.
We are currently witnessing how philanthropy is embodying a powerful shift from being at the center of social change efforts to acting as a facilitator, connector, and learner in a larger ecosystem of actors working to create lasting, systems-level change. Drawing on themes surfaced in the recently published Stanford Social Innovation Review article, “Where Strategic Philanthropy Went Wrong,” co-authored by Mark Kramer and Steve Phillips, the speakers reflected on the learnings and changes within the field and invite attendees to examine their own potential as agents of change.
Speakers:
- Steve Phillips, Author and Founder, Democracy in Color
- Mark Kramer, Co-Founder and Board Chair, FSG
- John Harper, CEO, FSG
